Answer:
We have: g(x)=(x+2)(x-1)(x-2)
multiply the 3 terms:
- (x+2)(x-1)(x-2)
- (x²-4)(x-1)
- x^3 -x²-4x+4
This is a polynimial function with 2 vertices
The roots are approximatively:
0.8 and -1.5
their images are:
1.9 and 8.8
plot these two vertices and draw some other points
here is a drawing:
Law of sines can be used to solve this problem:
(note - let x represent the missing side length.)
1. set up proportion.
sin 90°/25 = sin 55<span>°/x
2. solve.
(x) sin 90</span>° = (25) sin 55<span>°
(x) sin 90 </span>°/sin 90° = (25) sin 55° / sin 90<span>°
</span>
x = 20.4788011072
rounded to nearest tenth = 20.5
